Jeanine Nicarico

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin did not handle the Nicarico case, but said it weighs heavily on him and everyone else who works with victims of child abuse, and the families of children who have been murdered.

The father of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico, who was raped and murdered in 1983, said he was “disgusted” but not surprised that Gov. Pat Quinn has signed legislation ending the death penalty and commuted the sentence of his daughter’s killer to life in prison.

The memory of the 10-year-old Naperville girl will be honored when the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office opens a new, larger facility for bringing to justice those who commit crimes against kids.

Acknowledging his state has “come under the harsh glare of criticism” over a controversial new “religious freedom” law, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he wants state lawmakers to pass new legislation that makes clear businesses cannot discriminate against gay and lesbian couples.
